All-in-one card reader for USB 3.0 and 3.1 Gen 1

This USB 3.0 and 3.1 Gen 1 card reader accepts SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC and CompactFlash media. Photographers and videographers can offload footage from several card formats through a single desktop device. It suits anyone who needs broad format support without carrying multiple adapters.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 transfer rate up to 480 megabytes

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface delivers a data transfer rate of up to 480 megabytes per second. The compact black enclosure draws power directly from the host port so no external supply is required. Silent operation with no moving parts keeps the workspace quiet during long ingest sessions.

Bundled USB cable enables immediate connection

A USB cable is included so the reader works straight out of the box with any standard USB port. The supplied cable removes the need to source a separate lead and ensures the rated 480 megabytes per second link is maintained. Compatibility with common memory cards means most shooters can start transferring files without extra accessories.

Questions about this item

How do I install the TS-RDF8K2 and which step is often missed?

Connect the included USB cable to a USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 port; the step people miss is using a slower port that limits the 480 megabytes_per_second transfer rate.

What maintenance or replacement will the TS-RDF8K2 need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if the USB cable or a card slot wears out, the whole reader is replaced.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers on the TS-RDF8K2?

The 480 megabytes_per_second ceiling of the USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 interface is the first bottleneck under heavy load.
